Guest guest Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 Kristie I called the university medical center to schedule an appointment with the pulmonologist who my neuro wants me to see. I was put on hold and when the woman came on line, she had just had a cancellation by the person who she was talking to while I waited. I have an appointment on the 9th. We can think of each other that day. This means getting the 20 blood tests done and picking up the X-rays before then, but we seem to do what we have to do. laurie > > Reply-To: > Date: Fri, 29 Oct 2004 11:07:11 -0400 > To: " Mitoldies " > > Subject: Re : lungs > > Laurie, > > I'm really glad you have a good neuro who likes puzzles, and whom you have a > lot of trust in.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Kristie I mentioned to my supervisor at work that I had 20 blood tests to get. She was so funny (in my book) because she thought that it would be too much blood to loose at one time. You can tell she is healthy. We have probably all had gallons taken over the years. laurie > > Reply-To: > Date: Sat, 30 Oct 2004 09:02:11 -0400 > To: " Mitoldies " > > Subject: Re : lungs > > Wow Laurie, > > You hit the jackpot so to speak.
